My pleasure, Pablocito ; did the sergeant say my pleasure? My pleasure, then, shall tax his patience, for, first, I shall eat, then, with the aid of soap and water and a razor that you may bring, I shall make myself as presentable as possible. May one do less at such a time?. I do not know, Senor, he said In a daze; is life so droll a thing that you should laugh it away? Life is a glorious thing, my little Pablo, and I hope you shall have as much of it as you desire; I hope you may view this beautiful world until your eyes are dim with the years, that you may listen to the sweet sounds of nature and to the sweeter sounds of the voices of those who love you until your ears Gracias, Senor I will hasten. He brushed my clothes and polished my boots while I ate the breakfast of baked chiva and tortilla and coffee . -- I knew it very well, my general." But almost within this hour, the Liberator continued, the wise Francisco has brought to me the Senorita Lamartina, who seems to think you are a greater lover than a soldier. From her I have learned many things concerning Colonel Pini, who has paid sadly for his misdemeanors. Aye, my general. And your father. Garde, is not to be denied. He takes what he wants. He is the incarnation of that spirit of progress and determination that shall ' surely make your country great. No man may prevail against him, therefore you are free. But the ladies await you and one may not keep a lady waiting. Ladies? Then there was more than one. I wondered yet I might have known that he would bring my mother. I faced her with mixed emotions of joy and contrition that my rashness had hurt her. I got her in my arms, and held her close, and kissed her. Yet her lips were trembling, and her eyes were filled with tears. Ah, my sweet and wonderful mother, I have offended thee She shook her head to free her eyes of the tears.

Ready at last I walked with him along the narrow darkened hallway and out into the bright sunlight to a wide iron gate that swung open at our approach, where a sergeant and a squad of a dozen soldiers took me In charge. I searched my pockets and poured into' Pablocito s cupped hands all the silver that I found there and, with a word of thanks for his attentions, marched away beside the sergeant, with six soldiers flanking us right and left. It was a beautiful morning, with air so clear that trees upon the crest of distant mountain ranges stood out with cameo distinctness. A breeze from the lake tempered what might have been a hot day. Do you usually take a morning constitutional before an execution? I questioned the sergeant, after we had traversed a full third of the city. I am directed to bring you here, said he, as we turned into an arched gateway and bent our steps toward the massive mansion that has been the home of many governors. A guard at the great wooden door with its exquisite carving stood aside, and four abreast, we marched through it into a spacious chamber, which, at first, because of the brilliant sunlight that had filled our eyes, seemed a place of shadows. The sergeant voiced a sharp commahd, the soldiers about faced and went out, leaving me standing in the middle of the room. In front of me stood the straight stalwart figure of a man with fair hair and the clear blue of northern skies in his eyes. A wild surge of joy went over me. I reached out my hands to him. Father 1" I cried. : Oh, my Loren, father!" he said gently, you scamp I I felt his strong arms around me, I felt his muscular body shake with silent laughter, and hot tears of happiness blinded me, for I knew that I was saved, because my father never failed.

Now another figure appeared the slim tiny figure of a man In brilliant uniform, with piercing black eyes, bushy brows, and a high forehead curiously seamed. Whereupon I fashioned a stiff salute, for this was South I have erred Americas greatest. grievously, my general He showed white teeth in a smile of welcome, then he put one arm, across my shoulders. "And you have striven greatly, major; I think Venezuela shall not forget. You are kind, my general." He spoke to my father : This young giant has helped us win an empire. He is an omen of good fortune, for, since his arrival, success has come to us. I fear, said my father soberly, he will never lay down the sword." A pity when he does, Bolivar said, "because he is a born soldier. With three hundred native troops he held firm against the entire right wing of the Spanish army. I am forgiven, then? I asked.

V come I have dreamed might passing before me In swift panorama, I spent, the night In fitful slumber ; to awaken at last to the familiar tapping of Pablocito upon the door of my cell You sleep, Senor, he said, as one sleeps whose conscience is as clear Why not, my little Pablo? I said, with forced gaiety. Sleep has never been a problem to me. I cannot understand, Senor; I fear that my last night and my last hour might be filled with lamentations. Perhaps you would even care to eat no? Of course ; should one miss a breakfast? manhood mother, never again! Then I am glad, Loren. There there is Felice, my boy."

And will .there not be some peace- ful pursuit for thee? Yes ; I shall not take up the sword again. Now I am happy, dear I have lost you so many times. You are not a dream, Loren, are you; this is not just something in my mind? ... No, my angel. There was a gentle tugging at my sleeve, and the voice of Felice came from a misty distance: Awaken, you two. The whole crowd is watching you. Come over and talk to us. Yonder is the tall Francisco, who resembles a bird of prey and who fashions his conversation like a Chesterfield;, there is Manuel, whose unlovely visage belies the golden heart within him, and yonder the gay and grizzled Captain Monahan.
